Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), says he will not promise Nigerians uninterrupted electricity within four years if elected president.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday night, Obi said while improving electricity supply would be a priority of his administration, it would be unrealistic to assure Nigerians of nationwide 24-hour power within four years.
“I will not tell them I’m going to give them reliable, stable, 24-hour electricity within four years,” Obi said.
“It is impossible because if you want to build a power plant, it will take you about four years to build a power plant.
